Chapter six hundred and seventieth pioneering spirit
Outside the ten-mile long pavilion, there was silence, and Li Xingchen's words fell on everyone's heart.
"I would like to toast you all with this wine today. When you return triumphantly from Nanzhong, if I am lucky enough, I will be here to receive you and wash away your dust." Li Xingchen's voice suddenly rose.
Lu Qing, Jiang Mang and others looked solemn. They knew very well that what Li Xingchen said was the truth.
Although these five hundred people added up are a lot of people in a town, everyone knows very well that throwing these five hundred people into the vast mountains of Nanzhong is like throwing a stone into the sea.
, I am afraid that even if the sea water swallows it, no one will know. As for the reinforcements, Li Xingchen has said it well now. When an emergency happens, everyone knows that the reinforcements promised by Li Xingchen will not rush in front of them in an instant.
Everything depends on the adaptability of these people, and even their fate... And what they need to face is not only the various tribes in the south, but also the more cruel nature.
The nature in Nanzhong is not as gentle as in the Central Plains and Jiangnan. The vast mountains swallow people silently but are enough to scare everyone away.
This may not be a battlefield with endless blood and fire, but it is equally difficult.
"We must live up to the general's trust!" Lu Qing suddenly picked up the wine glass. This glass of wine carried his youth and dreams, as well as the possibility of the entire Li Xinchen group moving forward.
The drink reflected Lu Qing's face. He didn't know whether he could live to see Li Xingchen again, whether he could live to see the Shili Changting Pavilion in Ba County, and whether he could live to drink Jiefeng Wine again.
But Lu Qing does not regret the choice he made. Nanzhong is the place that the entire Lu family has been dreaming about. It has also been Lu Qing's dream since he was a child. Only by standing on the land of Nanzhong can he show the glory of his ancestors again.
It proves that Nanzhong is an indispensable treasure land, worthy of people to explore forward and defend through bloodshed and sacrifice - just like what Lu Kai, the ancestor of the Lu family, did.
Lu Qing didn't know what to call his wish, but he was willing to sweat and even bleed for it.
There may be no chance to drink this Bashu liquor again in the future, so if I want to drink it now, I naturally have to drink it to my heart's content.
"We must live up to the general's trust!" Jiang Mang and the other two generals also raised their wine glasses.
Li Xingchen laughed and drank the wine in one gulp. What he saw in front of him was a good man full of passion. Everything was in this wine. Needless to say.
Lu Qing, Jiang Mang and others gave orders in unison, and Li Xingchen watched the team leave. He didn't know how many times he had seen someone off, and he knew even more clearly that after the team left today, there would be no way for him to see this person again.
Not many, not less than 500 people.
But such pioneering and dedication are worth it, even such efforts and sacrifices are worth it. Li Xingchen needs Nanzhong, and these young people also need to prove themselves in the process of such pioneering and enterprising.
If a force wants to develop and grow, of course it cannot be complacent. Seclusion is just a cage built for itself. One day, this cage will be broken, and the frightened bird in the cage will not be able to face the violent storm outside.
Therefore, Li Xingchen must spread his tentacles around from now on, and he must cultivate a group of young people who are brave enough to forge ahead.
It is difficult to change the Chinese nation's idea of "restoring the land and relocating". Historically, Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty exhausted manpower and material resources. In the end, Zheng He's voyages to the West were labeled as "a waste of people and money", and external exploration and exchanges were completely interrupted.
.
Li Xingchen did not expect that he would be able to make such a big deal as "going to the West" as soon as he came up, but he had the patience and time to slowly cultivate and change.
Rome was not built in a day, and the prosperous Tang Dynasty in another time and space was not built in a day. Li Xingchen was younger than Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty when he ascended the throne, so he believed that he should be able to do better than Zhu Di.
Of course, Li Xingchen did not want to change the overall core of the Chinese nation. The Chinese nation is a typical mainland nation, and resettlement is a consistent tradition of the mainland nation, and it is accompanied by simplicity and heaviness. These advantages and disadvantages are mixed together,
Together they constitute the complex identity of a nation.
Li Xingchen did not want to change this national characteristic like the so-called "****" in later generations. He just hoped to do his best to add something to it.
Exploration and enterprising may be good choices, at least for the nation that has been restrained in the cage of Kyushu, it is time to expand outwards.
To put it simply, this is actually Li Xingchen taking forward things that should only be done in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. He doesn't know the pros and cons of doing so, but at least it is better to take a step first than to hesitate.
Just when Li Xingchen was thinking this, the figures of Jiang Mang, Lu Qing and others had disappeared at the end of the road. After seeing them off, it was time for him to set off.
"Let's go, let's get ready to go!" Li Xingchen got on his horse.
Behind him, Li Ping's bodyguards responded loudly and quickly followed Li Xingchen.
The two groups of people and horses went in opposite directions, heading in different directions.
When we meet again, I don’t know how old I am.
————————————————————
In Jiankang Prefecture, the most rare thing during the Huangmei season is sunny weather.
After the rain, mist was steaming in the courtyard, making everything a bit hazy. The setting sun shone through the mist on the table.
The letter from Bashu lay there quietly. The woman who had finished washing up early walked over slowly, reached out and grabbed the letter, and wanted to open it anxiously, but when she peeled off the paint, she hesitated.
I don’t know what is written in this letter, but what do I want to see?
After taking a deep breath, the woman took out the letter.
A piece of white paper with the familiar font still on it.
"I will see you soon - Xin Chen"
There are a total of nine words in the name, which occupies half of the paper. It is extremely bright, which shows that the writer is in a hurry and also a little happy. Although the content is only seven words, it contains so much that it even makes people feel uncomfortable.
Not sure how much affection there is.
The woman let out a long breath that she had held in for too long, and pressed the envelope tightly to her chest.
We finally meet, are you really so happy?
And I...don't know whether I should be happy or worried.
It's nice to see you, but our future...is not bright.
I don’t know what kind of courage you have to come to Jiankang Mansion, and I don’t know what kind of courage you will use to face everything that is coming?
But I have to say that I am really happy to think that I can see you and not be in a dream.
The woman stood up slowly.
Some of the sweltering courtyards were filled with mist, making it difficult to see clearly.
Just like him and her, there is also the future of this dynasty.
